Hot Turkey Sub Sandwich

1 T. olive oil
1 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 8 oz. loaf French bread
6 oz. sliced mozzarella cheese
4 oz. sliced fully cooked smoked turkey
2 T. sliced pitted ripe olives
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/8 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

In a small mixing bowl stir together the olive oil, basil, and garlic. Split the French bread lengthwise. Use a spoon to hollow out the top half, leaving a 3/4-inch shell. Brush the cut sides of both halves with the olive oil mixture.

On the bottom half of the bread, layer half of the mozzarella cheese, all of the turkey, the olives, the remaining cheese, and the tomato slices. Sprinkle with pepper. Top with the bread top. Wrap in heavy duty foil.

Bake in a 375 degree oven about 10 minutes or till heated through. Cut into portions.
